Takeover

“Takeover” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 10″ x 8″; (c) Amy Guidry 2023

Happy to share my latest painting Takeover which features an alligator, one of Louisiana’s most popular animals and considered one of the most dangerous. The alligator’s teeth, replaced with human hands, reference the real danger, greed. With human-driven mass extinction underway, natural habitats such as wetlands are at risk, while hands reach out for more. Takeover is an acrylic on canvas, 10″ wide by 8″ high, and you can view it online here: https://amyguidry.com/gallery/takeover/index.html.

Omen

“Omen” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 12″ x 6″; (c) Amy Guidry 2023

Revealing my latest painting Omen. The sketch for this started in 2017 and I opted to do an entirely different painting. I revisited it and made a few changes. Fun fact: polar bears can’t climb trees. They lost that trait since they evolved in the Arctic where there are no trees. Omen is an acrylic on canvas, 12″ wide by 6″ high, and you can view it online here: https://amyguidry.com/omen.html.

Equilibrium

“Equilibrium” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; $600; (c) Amy Guidry 2022

Revealing my most recent painting in the In Our Veins series. Equilibrium features a Japanese macaque, also known as the snow monkey, one of my favorite animals since I was a kid and obsessed with pink. The pink hues in the monkey’s face and amaryllis flowers connect the two visually while the honeybees connect all flora and fauna as promoters of biodiversity. Equilibrium is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 6″ high and currently available through LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans and via their website here: https://www.lemieuxgalleries.com/art/equilibrium-by-amy-guidry.

Biodiversity

“Biodiversity” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 8″; Sold; (c) Amy Guidry 2021

Sharing my new painting Biodiversity. This piece features two tarsiers, which are small leaping primates found only in the islands of Southeast Asia. Biodiversity is a fun homage to the diversity of nature, inspired by bold colors and mixed prints seen in fashion. It features a mix of plants not normally found together in nature, and most of their colors have been exaggerated or altered to add to the whimsy of the painting. Biodiversity is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 8″ high and available through LeMieux Galleries’ 2021 Online Holiday Show: https://lemieuxgalleries.com/show/lemieux-galleries-2021-online-holiday-show

Ouroboros

“Ouroboros” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; Sold; (c) Amy Guidry 2021

Excited to share my new painting Ouroboros. Black panthers in Asia and Africa are actually melanistic leopards while those in the Americas are melanistic jaguars. Beauty and protection are among much of the symbolism behind panthers while the snake is seen as a symbol of rebirth. Ouroboros is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 6″ high, and you can view it (as well as the rest of the series) online here: https://amyguidry.com/ouroboros.html.

In Progress

Leave a comment

A few photos of my current painting in progress.  Focusing on the rainforest for this one, specifically the Amazon and its flora and fauna.  Also wanted to work on a larger piece, so this one is 20″ wide by 20″ high.  It’s heavily detailed courtesy of all the leaves and tree branches.  Not to mention full of white-faced capuchin monkeys!  The sketch on paper maps everything out before I transferred it to canvas.  The painting itself is an acrylic on canvas.  I’m still working on the rainforest background at the moment, and the blue morpho butterflies.  Butterflies may be small, but they are hugely symbolic in my work.

Dodo painting in progress by Amy Guidry (detail); Acrylic on canvas; 20″w x 10″h; (c) Amy Guidry 2018

Making some progress on my current painting.  I’m working on the details of the dodo bird’s face and feathers at the moment.  There’s still a little work left to do on the background, but I just had to work on the dodo.  I took some artistic license on the details.  For example, adding folds of skin around the eyes and wrinkles.  All the old illustrations and even the model recreations give him a completely smooth face, but after looking at tons of various bird photos, I decided against that and made my own interpretation.  This is just a close-up photo- the entire painting is 20″ wide by 10″ high, and is an acrylic on canvas.  More details soon.  You can view the rest of this series here: https://amyguidry.com/gallery.html.
